Researchers have introduced StratMem-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate how virtual characters strategically use memory in conversations. The dataset contains 657 instances where characters must manage required, supportive, and irrelevant memories. Experiments using state-of-the-art large language models revealed that while models can differentiate between necessary and extraneous information, they struggle when supportive memories are involved in their decision-making process.
